To ask what theatre productions you’re attending or wish to attend?

Paranormal activity. I’ve booked it for next year

saw 2:22 a ghost story last night

Update to previous post: Matilda was fantastic, absolutely spell-binding. The talent, focus and sheer fitness of the children involved is just incredible. I've seen it once before on the West End but wanted to take my youngest daughter who wasn't born then.

I'd also like to take her to see Totoro, but that would require a trip to London.

I've now been cast in an amateur production of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase in June. A downside of doing so much theatre as a hobby is we often don't have time to go to the theatre and have usually used up the goodwill of grandma's babysitting service by the end of the last curtain call. 😂

I love the amateur ones! The quality locally is far from amateur!

I’m going to The Car Man - I think in October? Not sure, friend booked the tickets. Took my dd to Swan Lake last year (or maybe year before - time is racing away) and she was mesmerised - I’d seen it before but I’d forgotten how good it is.

I’ve also got The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui coming up at the RSC - starring Mark Gatiss and with music by Placebo - can’t wait!

Did anyone manage to get to The Weir with Brendan Gleason? I really wanted to see it but left it too late and couldn’t get tickets.

I live outside the UK and The Car Man is touring to my country in the autumn. Definitely going to book it!

It's beautiful, i walked out the theatre and immediately booked The Car Man

@Globules My DD managed to get a ticket when Odom junior is appearing in Hamilton, she is very excited.

Oh and Derren Brown's new show in the summer

Fawlty Towers, The Woman In Black & Back to the Future

I have 42 shows booked this year and still booking. In April I am seeing: The Secret Garden, Starlight Express, Come from Away, 2:22 a Ghost Story, Hello Dolly, The Bodyguard and The Red Shoes.

In June I'm doing a 6 day trip to London and have booked: Beetlejuice, High Society, The Devil Wears Prada, Paddington, Les Mis (Royal Albert Hall), The Play that Goes Wrong, Showstopper, The Mousetrap, Jesus Christ Superstar and The Phantom of the Opera.

In October I'm doing a 5 day trip to London and have booked: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Sinatra the Musical, Wicked, Come Alive, Witness to the Prosecution, The Phantom of the Opera, Love Never Dies in Concert and Hadestown. I'm waiting to see what else will be showing as I have 2 matinees and an evening show to fill, I'm hoping Titanique will extend and I can see it.

Just seen Paddington which was fantastic. I've booked Sherlock at the Regents Park theatre and Jesus Christ Superstar in the Summer. I've also booked Billy Elliott, a favourite, and Miss Saigon for 2027!

When I'm organised I will probably go back and see Operation Mincemeat and Hamilton in the next few months.

We’re going on a bear hunt in Wimbledon theatre

I'm off to see legally blonde on Tuesday :) also saw Operation Mincemeat a few months ago and have Mrs Doubtfire booked.
I also love the amateur ones round my area - I live in a very talented area where all the amateur ones are amazing (and I am very lucky to have been in the chorus of a few before having children!)

It is wonderful. I loved it.

I saw To Kill A Mockingbird in Southampton yesterday . A very powerful production, the cast were all excellent as was the staging. Catch it on tour if you can!

Off to see The Last Five Years at the Palladium tomorrow. Can't wait to see Rachel Zeigler on that stage again.

As a huge Evan Hansen fan, DD is so very excited about seeing Ben Platt.

Anyone else seen it?

Going to see Miss Saigon in a couple of weeks at MK theatre, then To Kill a Mockingbird, also at MK end of May ….then Twelfth Night at Tolethorpe Hall in July and just booked tickets to see comedian Rhys James at Derngate next March….love live theatre x

I would happily see that again, it was very good. I saw it in Mold - got tickets early on before they got super expensive!

I've seen 3 different productions of this play now, and I do really like it as a play. This Welsh version was excellent, and I really loved the staging especially.

I’m going to most of the upcoming RSC productions - very lucky to be local - have tix for both Kenneth Branagh productions, also going to Henry V and planning to go to Middlemarch and The Mad King (just waiting for tix to be released). In London I’m hoping to go to The Hunger Games and Cabaret. Doesn’t seem like enough - need to book more. That said, I really love last minute theatre trips - just seeing what has tickets and rocking up.

Thanks, this is really helpful!

Think I'm gonna book.x.

I'm taking DD (aged 4) to a 'my first ballet' performance of Cinderella by the English National Ballet in a few weeks but that's all we have planned so far. Hopefully she'll enjoy it!
